Objection! There will be no more comics version Thor or Iron Man that is legal in Modern Age starting July. Yes, there's the movie version, but some of us wants the comic book version, and skipped the movie sets. Well...there's the FF Iron Man, but we prefer Iron Man in red and gold.

I can send you the paint if it means that we can get a never-clixed character in his place like Blackheart, Hellstorm, or Vengeance. Heck, I'll mod it for free if it means we can bump those guys out.

The evidence thread for Chaos War said there are at least 61 figs in this set. If Ant-Man/Wasp is a Chase at #53, then numbers 53 through 61 could be Chases. That's at least 9 Chases, unless some of those 54-61 are the LEs and the Marquee Fig (Vision).

The evidence thread is pure speculation based on the best possible evidence available at the time of posting. Most information there is accurate, though not all of it is and sometimes info gets outdated.

Specifically with the numbering, there is a slide from GAMA that has the header CHAOS WAR. The third bullet point mentions the 5 figure boosters, the fast forces, and the 10 figure microset/primer all as being part of the Chaos War set. The fourth bullet point then says over 60 figures to collect.

Logically, I think it is safe to assume that the "over 60 figures to collect" would probably be referencing the multiple products combined from the previous bullet point.

I pointed this out to Suttkus right after the slide was revealed, and he agreed it was possible. However, he chose the more liberal approach to the information and decided to put the extra numbers in his thread. There is nothing wrong with that, because taken on its own the bullet point did say over 60 figures to collect.

Personally, I found the context of the slide gave that last bullet point a different meaning, and I have no reason to think I will end up wrong.

Not only that, but WK does NOT include chases in the qty to collect.
52 figures
6 in the starter
10 probably in the gravity feed.
That gets us well over 60 without even thinking about chases.

The Superman set had 54 CUR+SR pieces, with the Rares starting at 33 and the SRs starting at 45. SM had 4 chases, Hulk had 6, GG has 4. I expect this set will be close to that.

I think it's reasonable to assume Ant-Man/Wasp is a "Chase". Though it'll likely be a chase on par with Giant-Size X-Men, where it's one duo per brick. Given how this set may be duo heavy, since there's likely a Sentry/Void duo and a Cap/Iron Man/Thor trio, I think it's likely that 51 or 52 is the last SR before it's "Chases".

First of all, I have to say I find your avatar inexplicably awesome. Never change it.

Second, what makes you say that chases will be one per brick? I'm not seeing any reason to presume that chases will be more common than usual for this set. (I was expecting Galactic Guardians chases to be common in parallel with GSX, because they both had super boosters, but we see how well that turned out!)

Pure speculation? I'm hurt! It's totally impure! : - )

But the rest of your post seems a sound reading of the situation. Given the low number of this chase compared to the "more than 60" claim, I now consider your interpretation to be almost certainly the correct one and will be updating the Evidence threads in accordance with this. I have difficulty believing they would make a set with so many chases and not make some kind of well-advertised theme/event out of it.

That's probably true. It's all speculation at this point, but given how many possible duos this set can have, if they have more than 4 different duos, I can see them being one per brick, similar to the Hulked Out Heroes, or Giant-Size X-Men duos.

I run HeroClix tournaments every 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month at The Realm Games and Comics in Brea, California. The format of each tournament will be posted here.
